    Description

    I am a British resident with a secondary residence in a beautiful old house in the French Jura. It is in a small lovely village nestled at the bottom of the vinyards and forests. Lots of gorgeous lakes close by. I am also 10 m away from a small town called Lons le Saunier which has very good shopping facilities. Skiing (when there is snow) about 1 hour away by car.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I work from home full time; I also spend lots of time gardening. I am happy to speak English or French with my guests. I also do lots of walking in the mountains (am a member of a couple of clubs) and happy to take the person along. The area is very beautiful. I have a couple of mountain bikes - best cycling it seems around here in France as low hills and no traffic (Jura is not v touristic). My workawayers are welcome to use them.
